rkjnt@Luke:20:1 @ And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came up to him with the elders,

rkjnt@Luke:20:2 @ And said to him, Tell us by what authority you do these things? or who it is who gave you this authority?

rkjnt@Luke:20:3 @ And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and you answer me:

rkjnt@Luke:20:4 @ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?

rkjnt@Luke:20:5 @ And they discussed among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

rkjnt@Luke:20:6 @ But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

rkjnt@Luke:20:7 @ And they answered that they did not know from where it came.

rkjnt@Luke:20:8 @ And Jesus said to them, Neither will tell I you by what authority I do these things.
